Open pit mines localized in high mountains are probably one of the most complex environments for Structure-From-Motion (SfM) based Hat box photogrammetry.The case study presented in this paper refers to the realization of a detailed topographic mapping in the Torano marble basin (Apuan Alps, Italy) which needed, after decades of excavation activity
Transportation represents major energy consumption where fuel is considered as a primary energy source.Recent development in the vehicle technology revealed possible economical improvements when using natural gas as a fuel source instead of traditional gasoline.There are several fuel alternatives such as electricity, which showed potential for futu
